Living in a barn house is a unique experience. While many homes are beautiful, a barn house is not only beautiful, it is completely unique. I was recently visiting a southern state, marvelous sunshine this time of year and lovely homes, but not always individual in their design. With a post and beam barn house, you will always get the unique and individual, because you design it. From the ground up, the home will be created to suit your every need and desire. Consequently, there is not another one exactly like it, inside or out. While there may be similar characteristics, each Yankee Barn home is a “one-of-a-kind”.
Life In A Barn House
To give you an idea of what I mean by every Yankee Barn home is completely different than another, what follows are pictures from various barn house homes we’ve built over the past few years. They are as unique as the people who live in them.
- A step-down dining room is a creative feature in this East Hampton YBH barn house.
- Sleek, contemporary lines define this post and beam kitchen in Michigan.
- A rolling library ladder is an unusual and functional feature in this Rhode Island barn home.
- A Hamptons post and beam master bedroom uses soothing colors and expansive windows to convey a sense of a private oasis.
- This is the interior of the connector which ties a 20th Century post and beam addition to an 18th century cape. The transition is seamless.
- Some people prefer beautifully lofted spaces…
- …while others prefer standard level ceiling heights for a more intimate feel to the space.
- Being “at home in a barn house” comes down to a unique interpretation of who you are and how you live with the things you love. It’s as simple as this!
